Mitosis to Meiosis Sept. 8, 2005
Meiosis: Two Divisions • How does Meiosis I differ from Mitosis? • What kinds of regulatory systems would achieve the conversion of Mitosis into Meiosis I?
2c 1c 2c Mitosis – G1 and G2 Chromosomes
Pairing of Homologs Synaptonemal Complex (protein) with “recombination granules” Leptotene Zygotene Chromosome Axis (protein) with scaffolds and loops of chromatin Meiosis – Zygotene Pairs of Homologs
Kinetochore(chromatid structures) Secondary constriction (site of rDNA), ribosomal genes
Cell Cycle Controls • Cyclins (accelerators) • Kinases (breaks) • Hormones (initiators, inhibitors) • DNA replication process • DNA repair processes (p53 protein) • Microtubule (Spindle) processes • Forces to move chromosomes into homologus pairs (tetrads) • Forces to uncoil, snip DNA, splice DNA, etc.
One or Two Exchanges? Linked LociShare a chromosome What is necessary to have an exchange between chromosomes?
DNA repair Crossing Over Blue Loop displaces red DNA Blue and red are non-sister chromatids that can form a heteroduplex
A a NCO A a A A co Geneconversion a a a A Gene Conversion is when A is converted to a, or vice versa. If a pairing happens where Base Pairs’ differ: NCO
What new process “appear”? • Pairing • Enzymes to form pairing proteins • Transport enzymes (proteins) into nucleus • Location in right place, right amount and relationships • Chromatid breaking, rejoining • Enzymes to uncoil • Enzymes to break • Enzymes to join
